This could turn into one of those 80 inch features or series. It would allow you to look at every aspect of the farmworkers.

Yes!! So, then, key here would be FOCUS ... what is the FOCUS of a story like this?

(thx, Carlos)

a story comparing the parents’ attitudes to their living conditions and the younger generation’s attitude toward the same living conditions. I think one will find the parents have so much more “hope” and see their lot in the world as so much brighter than the younger generation..

Cool idea! thx, Argenis.... Hey Ana—maybe something is here. What are the teenage kids (the iPod generation) doing/ thinking? Do they work w/ parents? Do they go to local public h’schools?

Keep those ideas coming. Thanks, guys.

Thank you Argenis and Carlos for the ideas on farmworkers. I will do some research and then I will pitch the story to my editor...Let’s see what happens. I will keep you post it. Thanks Mary Ann…
